Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

1/2 Navel orange
3 lg Eggs
1 c Sugar
1 ts Vanilla

3 3/4 c All-purpose flour

Here's another biscotti recipe--from the new THE BEST OF GOURMET 1998:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a large baking sheet. Cut orange
half into chunks (including peel and discarding any seeds) and in a food
processor puree until smooth. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat
together eggs and sugar until light and creamy. Add 1/2 cup orange puree
and vanilla and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add butter, flour,
baking powder, baking soda, and salt and stir until just combined. Stir in
cranberries and walnuts until combined well.

On baking sheet roughly shape dough into 3 long mounds. With wet hands pat
and form mounds into three slightly flattened 12-inch logs (each about 2
1/2 inches wide). Bake logs in middle of oven 30 minutes, or until golden.
Cool logs on sheet on a rack 10 minutes and transfer to a cutting board.
With a serrated knife cut logs crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Arrange slices, cut sides down, on 2 baking sheets and bake in upper and
lower thirds of oven 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Transfer biscotti
to racks and cool. (Biscotti keep in an air-tight container at room
temperature for 1 week or frozen in sealable plastic bags for 4 months.
Makes about 72 biscotti.
